Build on our existing offer

We will strengthen and promote existing courses and learning pathways which can provide students with a fuller understanding of the environmental and social dimensions of sustainability.

 

Connect across disciplines

We will embed environmental sustainability into the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ curriculum, promoting interdisciplinary activities and solutions.

 

Foster collaboration

We will create new collaborations among key stakeholders within and beyond the School, with a particular emphasis on working in partnership with students and ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ Students' Union to respond to and promote the sustainability agenda.

 

Examples of supporting initiatives:

For students

  • Identify and promote areas of the curriculum which include the relation between the subject and environmental sustainability, highlighting these clearly to students, for instance using green tags.

  • Enhance opportunities for all students to engage with sustainability t
